9.5 is what percent of 10993 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 10993 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 10993, so we can write it down as 100%=10993.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10993
2) x%=9.5
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=10993/9.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.5 is what percent of 10993

100%/x%=10993/9.5
(100/x)*x=(10993/9.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1157.1578947368*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1157.1578947368) to get x
100/1157.1578947368=x
0.086418630037296=x
x=0.086418630037296

now we have:
9.5 is 0.086418630037296% of 10993
